New Writers' Scheme Application - Romantic Novelists' Association

By proceeding, I am stating that I understand that my work comes under the broad definition of Romantic Fiction: that is to say, an exploration of romantic love must form an important element of the plot or a major sub-plot of the story. All genres of fiction with strong romantic elements are welcome. The ending of a romantic novel will commonly be uplifting. The RNA does NOT consider stalking, non-consensual intimacy, physical or mental abuse or coercion to be romantic. Erotic role playing incorporating these elements is acceptable, but only if consent is clear. The novel may incorporate any of these elements, but they should not be portrayed as part of the romantic relationship. Any novel where these elements form part of the ‘romantic’ relationship will be disqualified. If a submission is disqualified, no refund will be given. The NWS coordinators decision on eligibility will be final.
